Camilla Franks, 41, spoke to FEMAIL ahead of her sumptuous collection launch, as she explained how Dubai had 'always had a special place in my heart' (Camilla pictured in Dubai)

'It took approximately three months to bring this collection to life,' the dedicated designer told Daily Mail Australia - the new collection is themed entirely around Dubai and it features pretty prints, dresses, tops and Camilla kaftans

The new collection - which is entirely themed around Dubai - features pretty prints, an array of sundresses, tops, beach bags, scarves and the item which made Camilla famous, the kaftan:

'The kaftan is like a canvas for me to sing the songs of my travels in vibrant colour, embellishment and print placement detail.'

I was searching high and low for that Dubai vibe!

The 41-year-old designer added that, while she regularly travels for 'printspiration' and often 'winds up in the most off-the-beaten-track spots... where there is an abundance of inspiration gold for me to absorb', her Dubai trip was a little different:

'At first, finding inspiration wasn't easy and I started to worry. I was searching high and low for that Dubai vibe,' she said, adding that instead she was mainly feeling inspired by Moroccan tile work, Iranian textiles and a fusion of Middle Eastern architecture.

'But after a long lunch in a beautiful open-aired ornate tile-clad restaurant - in which I was surrounded by a multitude of cultures and backdrops - it dawned on me that this was where the magic of Dubai lies. It's a melting pot of cultures,' Camilla said.

From the 'regal tile work and architecture' at her hotel to the 'jaw-dropping ceilings of the Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab mosque', all of Camilla's inspiration is wound up in a pretty, bohemian collection that is true to the designer's inimitable personal sense of style:

'My time in Dubai was adventurous and eye opening,' Camilla said.

'I wanted to encompass these into a print and truly push the boundaries on people's perceptions of Dubai.'

nspired by the Arabian Desert and the bustling souks of inner city Dubai, the new CAMILLA capsule collection, My Dubai Dream, features the iconic kaftan and other fashion items

Camilla Franks first visited Dubai in 2006 to showcase her designs with Harvey Nichols and AusTrade in a celebration of Australian fashion in the Middle East

Camilla confessed her next 'full collection' will be inspired by 'Carmen Miranda so there are lots more fitted pieces like peplum tops and flared pants' - the current collection, however, is more flowing (pictured)

For those wondering what's coming next from the acclaimed designer, there is much to be excited about but also a slight change in direction as to where she is headed:

'I try to steer clear of the mainstream trends as it's important that my collections stay true to my inspirations and creative feeling,' she said.
